There were roughly 8.5 million migrant encounters along the U.S.-Mexico border during the four fiscal years of the Biden-Harris White House, bringing more clarity on the exact toll of the border crisis under the administration.
There were 101,790 migrant encounters at the southern border in September, the final month of fiscal year 2024, according to data released Tuesday by Customs and Border Protection (CBP). These figures include both migrants who crossed the southern border unlawfully and those who appeared at ports of entry.

There were roughly 2.1 million migrant encounters along the southern border in fiscal year 2024, the CBP data reveals. This final number puts the total figure of migrant encounters at the U.S.-Mexico during the Biden-Harris administration at roughly 8.5 million.
There were more than 1.5 million Border Patrol encounters between ports of entry — otherwise known as unlawful border crossings — in fiscal year 2024. The figures were a decrease from the roughly two million and 2.2 million unlawful border crossings seen at the U.S.-Mexico border in fiscal years 2023 and 2022, respectively, according to the data.
